Katy says: "We never forget that this is your life and your story – you remain in control at all times while we do the tough work of negotiating."
David Oakley recently sold his story of being the one 'Elephant Man' drug trial victim to show signs of cancer. He says:
"I approached a number of publicists and when I spoke to Katy, I asked how much she thought my story would be worth. She asked me how much I wanted! We discussed figures then she went off armed with what to go for. From there she came back with the goods and we ended up finishing close to what was originally on the table, which was great. She could see how big my story would be, better than anyone else. It ended up being a front page on the Mail on Sunday, a spread in the News of the World and was covered on all the UK TV News Channels and abroad.
"But I did not choose Katy just for her negotiating skills or foresight - I could see she was a person I could trust.From there she dealt on my behalf in a very professional, caring manner through difficult and complicated negotiations. All the way through she knew what tricks they could play and made sure I was looked after and protected at all times.
"I feel very safe having chosen Katy Weitz as my publicist and would recommend her to anyone needing an honest, caring, professional publicist you can trust - and one who never lets an opportunity go by that could increase your benefits."

Dear First Features,
Is it okay not to mention my place of work as this could be embarrassing?
"A fantastic job! If anyone else is thinking about selling their story, they should definitely use First Features."
